The watermelon plant is growing so well, it already requires a trellis. So I thought I'd make one out of the enormous pile of honeysuckle that is still sitting in my front yard. I bought some twine, picked my sticks, and watched an excellent youtube video on how to lash. 42 lashes later, viola.
Looks so primitive. I love it.
I thought it was a good skill that I should've known already. Wasn't too difficult, but it did take a while repeating the lash 42 times. And it cost me just about nothing. In case anybody is wanting to tie some sticks together, I made this short very educational video. I'm such a cheeseball.
I think when the season is over, I might tent two of them together and put a tarp over for a play tent for the kids.
Dresser update: Painted, waiting for knobs to arrive in the mail.
